Does "the community" agree? I thought this was the recommended setup.
If I don't share a common .distcc directory then how do I solve my worst-case
scenario: 15 developers suddenly have to compile the entire tree. They all put
only the best hosts into their host files (because, after all, they each want a
really fast compile), and they all start up their compilation. The result is a
bunch of blocked distcc tcp connects to machines with long tcp "listen" queues,
and ultimately, very slow compiles...
NOTE: I'm very willing to make some "serious" changes to distcc if I have to --
if "the community" knows how I can make distcc work using a common .distcc
directory...
